      By knowing that everything that happens to you has a meaning. Not only that, it is for your benefit.

      This a teaching which I had never heard before. And yet, wnen i heard it, I knew deep in my soul i knew it was true. I knew it. But even so I’m struggling with it How can it be that,if i understand correctly, the pain and negativity come from the Creator? The purpose is for us to correct us and teach us? As i said, i know its true, but it still is so much easier to tell myself that these things come from an outside source

      And how can the intent of an act is a sin, but the action itself is not? Don’t we have to accept responsibility? I need to go back and re read the passages in order to enhance my understanding. I guess knowing something is true is not the same as understanding the ‘why’ if it?

      Thank you for this opportunity

      What can I add to all your comments!

      As for me I know that the Creator is inside each of us and everywhere outside of us and we should try to feel it as Ricky Moses rightly commented  (see #433692) and many others in one form or another.

      But to actually feel “There is None Else Besides Him.” I pondered about that. I feel It when I am in a certain state: really focused, really attentive, immerse in the moment so to speak and I observe intently  and suddenly a miracle happens. I connect. Time and space tend to disappear and it is like I become the thing that I observe. Mostly it is easier for me in the outside world with nature (physical). What happens is I connect with the attribute of the thing I observe and sense, I become the thing so to speak :

      for example in some places I can connect with the power and the electric charge of the elements, it is easy because their presence is very strong all of you would connect to0, like in Southern California around St Andrea’s fault:  the Santana wind so dry that it chapps your lips and can ignite bushes at any moment starting a fire beyond control,  The forming of an hurricane on the ocean, I can feel its contained force, the abnormal swelling of the surf, the shake of the hearth. Al the elements  waking up together. I feel  awe and sometimes fear. Then I feel so small and humble and I think; men control nothing, the fools, they can do nothing against the power of the elements. Then even when everything is calm and quiet I can  still feel the immense presence of the elements, their seemingly sleeping power surrounding everything around me and in me.  You get energize in these places.

      I can also feel and be touched by  the love of a stream, this is what I receive around  water, unconditional love and compassion, be touched by the eyes of an animal, the eyes of very young baby reflecting pure joy and light, the innocence of a child and so on. What is behind? Pure love, beauty, power, joy all attributes of the divine that shows itself in everything and everyone.

      It does not happen all the time of course it is some epiphany that I call enchantment. Surely it happened to all of you one time of an other. But I think if we observe and listen intently with the desire to connect, it happens sometimes, and other times, when we are  respectful of what is in front of us it happens without us looking for it, and our heart jump .May be I am very sensitive, I do not know.

      I do not see Its attribute  often in me, believe me! But it happened some times. You know the feeling when someone is in need of something and suddenly you surprise yourself, you commit yourself, you give just like that bypassing any desire, any analysis without wishing for a return. So once in a while I can observe the attribute of selfless generosity in me, in some others also. So may be there is a way there a seed of more potential bestow.

      My apologies for this long answer but I really reflect on the question and I got carried on For me it happens that way.

      I think it is amazing to be here and to be learning we are part of something so beautiful and it’s in each and everyone of us, to know that we are all connected and to be on the journey of being re-connected to such a wonderful source.

      I feel a sense of awe and wonder and a feeling like a crying in my heart to know that everything and everyone, every thought and action is the creator within us and how all only comes from a place of love and bestowal but concealed from us because of our egoistic desires.
